[ PRIVATE to NICK FURY and BOBBI MORSE ]
Hector Peck might be a dead end. I don't think he's involved at all with Vulcanus or that New Vesuvius city. He's just an editor for a newspaper here and keeps himself busy with that. Nothing out of the ordinary with his schedule or work.
[ /end private ]
[ When Gil speaks up, he sounds as if he's slightly congested. ]
I believe Raven has been ported out. If she had any previous or future engagements to attend to I'm sorry, but I don't think she'll be showing up. I haven't heard from or seen her around the house since before some of us were ported to New Vesuvius.
I'm not sure what to do yet about her belongings. It seems too soon to pack them away somewhere so they aren't lying around the place, doesn't it? A bit rude, too... [ He sighs. It's hard to finish cleaning the place when he's caught in a tiny dilemma like this!! ]
It's always going to be impossible to predict how long before people return. [ A beat. ] If they do.
[ Followed by another pause, as if he may add something to that thought. ]
Ah, never mind.

Quite some time ago, I know.
no subject
Yes, but not an unheard of displacement. I have a friend from about the same time. [He almost considers offering Gil a job teaching math, just as a joke.]
no subject
You do? I don't know anyone from a similar time... perhaps Miss Gemma.
no subject
But I was referring to Cross Marian, if you happen to know him.
1/2
no subject
Yes. I do.
no subject
Nonetheless, it was quite convincing, right down to the discomfort of the shoes. [Thanks, digitigrade legs.] I took a date there, myself.
no subject
A... [ "Lover" is that the tip of his tongue but right, they don't say that. ] Girlfriend?
no subject
Well, it was still the early stage of our relationship at that point. But you could that say by the time we left, she was.
no subject
Ah, it always comes as a bit of a surprise to hear about others seeing each other here. [ Since people are always getting ported out. ]
no subject
Is it? I think i's a bit inevitable, considering things. Those of us who've been around a while are bound to feel lonely every now and then. It's the same sort of impulse that would drive someone to seek companionship elsewhere. Even when you know it may be temporary.
no subject
It's a different sort of thinking compared to those from my time. I don't know if they would take such a... ah, chance here.
no subject
[Because Cross...]
But no, I see what you mean. I suppose our attitudes have grown a bit more...casual since. It's just love, after all. It isn't the end of the world.
no subject
I... wouldn't know, to be perfectly honest.
no subject
Never gave it a shot before? I guess we have a tendency to romanticize romance more, as silly as that phrase sounds, when our experience is more limited. The truth, when you get right down to it, is all of us are looking for something.
All of us are lonely to some degree.
no subject
Do you really believe that?
[ He is lonely, especially here. The horrible feeling is lessened at home, but there are times where physically, he's right beside Oz, but he feels miles apart from his master. ]
no subject
Some of them don't feel it because they don't feel alone. That's why we enter relationships, even under circumstances like these, they're looking for that same feeling.
